Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a targeted archaeological evaluation on land off Round Ring, Penryn, Cornwall, on behalf of Ben Pearce of Pearce Fine Homes Ltd. This work follows on from a geophysical survey conducted by SWARCH and will help inform potential future development on the site. The site comprises two fields on the north side of Penryn off Bohelland Rise/Round Ring. The results of the archaeological evaluation largely validates the results of the geophysical survey, and the majority of the geophysical anomalies were clearly identifiable in the trenches The dated archaeological features on the site include a removed historic field boundary and two ditches that belong to an earlier relict fieldsystem. The Iron Age and possible Romano-British pottery in these features would indicate contemporary activity in the vicinity of the site. The relict fieldsystem is not congruent with the layout of the historic fieldscape and is morphologically similar to relict late Prehistoric fieldsystems in the local area. On that basis it seems the medieval material in these features is likely to be intrusive. The location of the site within one of the great open common fields attached to St Gluvias/Penryn would strongly suggest any and all archaeological features here have been subject to truncation by later cultivation. The general paucity of finds, and the intelligibility of the archaeological features, would suggest that further archaeological monitoring on this site is unlikely to generate meaningful results.
